I am so grateful that our acquaintance, Dan, was pulled from the rubble of Hotel Montana yesterday. What a blessing and answer to prayer. Apparently, according to today's LA Times, he had been praying with other people who were also trapped. I can't imagine what it must be like to be in that situation not knowing if anyone knows you are there and if you will be rescued in time if they do know. How many more are still alive and trapped? God be with them. | | |

Our young friend, Alisa Brown, started painting a few years ago. She painted this still life last year. I love the way the light shines through the jar of oil. I really wanted this painting but didn't think that it would ever happen. A few weeks ago Dean and I were at the Red Poppy art center and I noticed that the painting was no longer on the wall. I was rather disappointed and asked the woman who teaches art there if it had been sold. Yes, it was sold. Dean had been there a little earlier that day and had put a down payment on it and they had just placed it behind the counter. On Christmas day...I opened a big box and to my surprise here was this painting. Thank you, dear Dean, for your wonderful surprise! | | |

| We celebrated Katy's first birthday recently and according to tradition...she wore grandma's jeans. I celebrated my first birthday in Buffalo, Kansas where my parents had a very small dairy. We moved there when I was about six months old and moved back to California just after I turned one. My Aunt Beth gave me a pair of Lee jeans for my birthday, my mom put them on me, stood me on a chair and took my picture. This is now the third generation who has worn the jeans on their first birthday.

| My glass got to go on a fieldtrip to a mom's home. We hiked up a steep hill (almost killed me), made apple cider and picnicked by the nearby lake. This was just two weeks ago....too cold now!
